Storing images in database using active record

[eluser]Watermark Studios[/eluser]
Portability and industry restrictions sometimes require DB image storage. I had to do that with a recent Java WebObjects/FrontBase application. Granted, doing this on a high-volume application is going to really task your DB server. Besides, it's so easy to just do file handling using PHP. IMHO, it's better to store the images outside of the public architecture. Using PHP, you can easily grab files from other folders on the system if you have the permissions set properly.

Best of luck,
